I have no idea how or why your video appeared on my KZbin feed, but I'm glad it did. As someone who lives on the outskirts of London and spends all day working on a laptop, you have no idea how incredible your world looks. It's such a truly beautiful and peaceful looking place to live.

She's the top KZbinr farmer channel. At least according to another KZbin channel that tracks these things. About 2 years ago, a tenth generation dairy man video got noticed by the algorithm and somehow appeared in my recommendeds. I watched it and ever since then I've been inundated with farm videos. Good thing I like watching them. Laura Farms is an especially nice one to watch as she is especially hot.

11:15 When I was a kid, growing up in California I grew up near a very small town called Walnut Grove. At the time Little House on the Prairie was a series on TV that our entire family watched. They actually filmed the series in California so the landscape in that TV series looked nothing at all like the landscape where the real Laura Ingalls lived in her little house. It looked a lot more like the landscape where I grew up. For a long time I thought the Walnut Grove in Sacramento County was the same Walnut Grove where Laura was from. It's funny how we always love our homes and think they are the best places to live, even when others might think they are less than perfect.

Oh boy, I agree with you about the thunderstorms on the Great Plains ie Nebraska. My parents would always go through Nebraska on vacation. Once we caught in a super cell thunderstorm like the one you were in. I looked outside of our tent camper and saw a Tornado tearing through the countryside. God was really with use that day. We survived the storm.

So happy to see you only got minor hail damage, have to wait a few days to see any lasting effects. As to that being your worst day, just because your young Laura, doesn't mean it's not the worst you have experienced, you have many more years to let this fade into memory, as other storms take their place. Moving cattle can be a real chore, especially to get the last ones out. Take care,be safe and have a wonderful summer.

I’m 52, only been farming 21 years, did small scale organic market gardening off and on in Cali before that, grew up with livestock, grandpa, his brother, and great grandpa farmed, and my relatives who are still in Italy farm the foothills in the alps to this day. Yours and my outlook and experiences mean no less than others. Sometimes a fresh outlook is better.

[@kiwinewz2042]

😉🤣😂I was laughing at Grant doing a B&E after you panned away, then I remembered exploring the “Kell’s Homestead when I was a kid. One of 3 abandoned Farmhouse’s on our farm. They were smaller farms that became our farm after WW2. The Kell’s farmhouse had furniture and framed photographs. No power and a well for water. On our property the stables still had all the equipment for horse drawn farm machinery. The farm history dated back to 1894. Grandparents began clearing the land. They stored a lot of the equipment under trees including the horse drawn haymaker. Our shearing shed was connected to the stables and it was originally run by a waterwheel still connected externally. So thanks for the amazing memories Nebraska, mine are my childhood, South Otago NZ, 1960’s, 70’s. Laura your sense of wonder as you explored and the connection.🤔🕊🌏🌎🌍🕊🇳🇿🇦🇺🇺🇦 at my age thanks to the internet I see how similar we all are no matter which country or culture we are from.

Probably the MOST PICTURESQUE bit of video I've seen from Laura Farms ever! Endless fields are nice and all, but who knew there were actual little hills anywhere in Nebraska?!

[@DHGo-ex7ns]

This is a great KZbin Video showing how farming is such a RISKY BUSINESS. Like most businesses Mother Nature dictates the winners and the losers. It has nothing to do with the so called global warming from CO2 that contributes single digit to the cause of the weather. Apparently, science has not been able to determine what China gets massive flooding and California is dry as a bone but the weather and seasons do change over time just because this is what the earth has done since it's existence. I have to give farmers a lot of credit for taking the risk and sweat equity to make a living. Farmers are the number one treasure of America. Thanks!

Blue healer's are fantastic wranglers when trained. I worked off and on at the neighbors dairy/beef farm when I was much younger. He had 2 that he would use to chase the stock from pasture to pasture and run the milk cow's up to the parlor. They were the nicest of doggos until they had work to do. They made moving stock around so easy. Just something to think about. As always good luck and God Bless.

As always hoping that all is well, peaceful and joyful for you and Grant, and your critters and plants.

[@carnelmccarthy1099]

Loved the old farmstead. There all disappearing over the last 20 years or so.. always feel sad whenever I see a spot where I know one used to be. Torn down and plowed under for a couple of acres more corn Used to hunt and watch what wild life still survived in those old places. Surprising number of cats still trying to live there after the people left them behind when they left. I'm to old, to sick and to poor to get out now but I still dream about those places on windy stormy nights.. Take care now though. What happens now are the memories off the future...

[@brucewatkins7163]

Beautiful video showing the best and the worst of of mother nature. I respect your attitude of resolve during hard times. I was 10 years old when straight line winds and heavy rain destroyed our small grain crops (oats and wheat) in Minnesota. After an inspection tour of the devastation, my father returned home and announced, "It is going to get hot and muggy today, lets go to the lake cabin and relax." So much respect for those who feed the world!

[@lgrantnelson2863]

Brings back memories. Windmills, cattle, horses, abandoned buildings, hail. Memories when I was a kid in California. It rarely snows in the San Joaquin valley, but when I was about 10 we had about 1 inch of snow. Just enough to make a snow man. We moved to Oregon and it snows every year. In California my father put his ham radio antenna on the windmill tower. In the 60s electronics weren't as sophisticated as they are today and the neighbors would be watching TV, then my father would flip the send switch and walk all over the TV audio. The neighbors would say Mr. Nelson is talking on the radio again. In Oregon I did some farm work berries, beans, irrigation, hay, cattle. We even had an old Farmall tractor we would hand crank when the battery ran down. Yup those were the days. Good to see your optimism and attention to other details of the farm and taking time to enjoy the scenery. Hope you have a great year in spite of the hail.

[@paulkdondero9662]

[@Isaacmantx]

I am SO jealous of your saturated lawn cushions... We have only had 0.14 inches 9 weeks. I am not, however, jealous of the hail. We have had our share of hail in the last 6-8 years. 2 roof replacements for us in a decade, and a few neighbors with 3 in the same time... 4" hail is not a pleasant experience. Hail is the bane of our existence. When it comes to the cattle, very frequent moves (with small grazing areas) will teach them that following the grazer is in their best interest. Make the paddocks small enough that the paddock is totally spent when you want to move. No more chasing bulls or mommas in thick brush. They will show up READY when you are opening up a new paddock. It is a little more labor for showing up, but the animals quickly learn enough to more than compensate the time required to make smaller paddocks.

[@rico1319]

Laura I always find a lot of peace watching your show. Hail is so bad on our trees bushes yards roofs but most importantly our food crops! So sorry! Hope mother nature does better for us next year. Down here in Texas haven’t had a drop of rain for five months. Well over 100° every day. So many days now I’ve stopped counting. Anyway keep up the good work and take care of your husband he’s a good man!! 👍👍👍😎🇨🇱
